The Iranian Chief of Staff, Major General Mohammad Baqeri, paid a crucial visit to Turkey on August 15-17 to exchange views with top officials in Turkey including President Erdogan, Defense Minister Nurettin Canikli and the Chief of the General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces Hulusi Akar. What makes this visit important is that it is the first visit of a Chief of Staff to Turkey since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Additionally, the timing of the meeting is significant due to the ever-changing situation in Syria affecting the countries involved.
